How to resolve AdBlock issue? LAKEPORT, Calif. – Sutter Lakeside Hospital recently hosted three students of Mendocino College’s Math Engineering Science Achievement, or MESA, program, which specializes in helping students in mathematics, science and engineering develop their careers.
The students spent the day orienting themselves with the hospital environment, as well as asking questions of industry professionals.
“We’re proud to partner with Mendocino College to give students an idea of the medical careers that are available locally,” said Dan Peterson, chief administrative officer, Sutter Lakeside Hospital. “Health care is such a rewarding field, and a hospital environment is an exciting place to work. We want to ensure that students in the area realize that they don’t have to leave Lake County to pursue a medical profession.”
The MESA program at Mendocino College encourages students with similar degree fields to support one another in achieving a four year degree and pursuing a career.
Tutoring, study groups, and academic advising for participants also contribute to student success.
Additionally, MESA students are able to participate in field trips, networking events, and professional development activities such as workshops, conferences, and career panels.
MESA students Jose Araiza, 19, Marco Toledo, 21, and Magali Reyes, 19, took the opportunity to gain more insight at Sutter Lakeside Hospital about prospective medical careers.
“I got to ask questions and jot down important notes on the different ways to become an employee in the medical field,” said Araiza. “The shadow day made me realize that the medical field is where I want to be. The professionalism and teamwork made me think about how awesome it could be to work in a hospital.”
“College is the place to grow as an individual,” said Araiza. “Meeting new people and learning new things is an awesome way to gain skills that will help you throughout life.”
“I’m hoping to go into a surgical career,” said Reyes. “Since I was a little kid, I’ve been around hospitals and it’s always been interesting to me. There really is more than one way to get where you want to be in medicine. Shadowing made me less anxious; there are multiple ways to reach my goal. Being at the hospital was a great experience for me. I really enjoyed it.”
“My favorite part was getting to see how big the hospital was inside,” said Toledo. “By shadowing, I felt more motivated, knowing that if I keep working hard I will become a public health nurse.
“Students should know if they are going to college, they should definitely try shadowing any field they are interested in. They will get a better grasp of what’s ahead.”
“MESA is lucky to have Sutter Lakeside Hospital as a partner,” said Amanda Xu, Ph.D., MESA/STEM director at Mendocino College. “The welcoming wealth of knowledge truly inspired the students to strive towards their career goals.”

LAKEPORT, Calif. – A team of Lake County gymnasts put on stellar performances at their respective state competitions over the past two weekends, with two of them now heading to a five-state regional event.
Skycatch Gymnastics of Lakeport’s boys’ gymnasts have had another winning year.
Under the direction of gym owner and coach, Roger Devore, himself a former competitive gymnast, the entire team – Philip Sparkes, age 10, level four; Alex Fordham and Trey Broyles, both age 10, level five; and Catch Devore, 14, and Tanner Broyles, 13, level six – qualified for the state finals this year.
After this month’s state competitions, Catch Devore came out with a top statewide finish, getting first-place in the all-around competition for his level.
Philip, who recently started gymnastics but quickly took to it, decided to forgo the state meet on March 12 in Emeryville, however, teammates Alex and Trey made the trip, according to their parents.
Alex had a fifth-place all-around finish. He placed second in the pommel horse, fifth on the high bar, fifth on the parallel bars, sixth on the rings, eighth on the floor exercise and 13th on the vault.
Trey placed 13th all around. He had a third place finish on the floor exercise, seventh on the vault, 10th on the pommel horse, 12th on the rings, 13th on the parallel bars and 13th on the high bar.
Top three finishers in each individual discipline took home a medal, with the top six in the all-around competition also receiving medals.
“Medaling for state is a pretty big deal,” said Annette Broyles, mother of Trey and older brother, Tanner.
Then, it was Tanner and Catch’s turn at their state competition – Level 6, Division 1, for ages 13 and over – held in Oroville on March 19. Close to 100 young athletes competed that day, Broyles said.
Tanner finished 12th all around, with a first place on vault, eighth on pommel, eighth on parallel bars, 14th on rings, 15th on floor and 15th on high bar.
Catch’s performance at the state meet would earn him first-place finishes in the floor, rings and high bar, second on the vault, 11th on the parallel bars and 14th on the pommel horse, for an overall first-place all-around finish.
Broyles said Catch’s floor exercise received more than 11 points, the highest score of the day and a topic of conversation for other athletes throughout the competition. No one thought they could match him on the floor, and it turns out that no one did.
Trey and Alex’s competitive season is now done. For Tanner and Catch, however, there is more ahead: Both qualified for the regional competition in Reno on April 9.
The regional competition covers all of California, as well as Arizona, Hawaii and Nevada, Broyles said.
This is the second time Catch has qualified for regionals, the first time for Tanner, Broyles said.
Because of his finish in the top five, Catch will be part of the Nor Cal All Star Team and will take part in a mini camp this weekend in Elk Grove, Broyles said. Catch also was on last year’s All Star Team.
Amidst their heavy competitive schedule, both Tanner and Catch maintain a 3.6 grade point average. Broyles said Tanner attends Mountain Vista Middle School and Catch is home-schooled.
“It's challenging to maintain that grade point average training four to five days a week, between 12 to 18 hours a week,” Broyles said.
Depending on how it goes on April 9, there could still yet be further competitive opportunities for the boys at the national level.
But Catch’s mom Jerae Devore, who like her husband Roger also was a competitive gymnast, is being guarded in her expectations.
“We’ve never gone that far so we’re taking it one step at a time,” she said.

Lucerne woman seriously injured in Thursday rollover crash
LUCERNE, Calif. – A Lucerne woman who suffered a medical emergency was seriously injured when she subsequently lost control of her vehicle, leading to a rollover crash on Thursday morning.
Barbara Bautista, 43, suffered major injuries in the solo-vehicle crash, which occurred just after 8 a.m. Thursday on Highway 20 east of Bartlett Springs Road and near Ceago Vinegarden, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The CHP said Bautista was driving a 2004 Nissan westbound on Highway 20 at Third Avenue in Lucerne when she had a medical emergency.
Bautista’s vehicle drifted off the roadway and hit a power pole with a trash can before the Nissan continued westbound for approximately one mile, running off the road to the north of Highway 20, hitting a tree and overturning several times, according to the CHP.
The CHP said Bautista – who was wearing her seat belt – sustained a broken right wrist, bruising and complaints of pain, and was flown by a REACH air ambulance to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital.
Neither drugs nor alcohol are suspected as factors in the crash, the CHP said.
CHP Officer Shawn Bertram is investigating the crash.

Mendocino College Lake Center hosts March 26 presentation on Ireland Field School
LAKEPORT, Calif. – Consider spending your summer in medieval Ireland, living and learning while experiencing an amazing archaeology and cultural program with anthropological field work, course work, group trips, service learning projects and a living history opportunity.
The public is invited to attend a special free program presented by Dr. Samuel Connell, professor of anthropology at Foothill College, to learn about this unique research project that includes archaeological survey and excavation and community development activities.
The program, sponsored by the Lake County Friends of Mendocino College, Friends of the Lake County Museum, and Mendocino College Lake Center, is on Sunday, March 26, at 2 p.m. in Room 7050 at Mendocino College Lake Center, 2565 Parallel Drive in Lakeport.
The archaeological and anthropological project this year is a student-focused investigation of the ancient and modern medieval Irish landscape.
The archaeology will consist of text excavations within the Ballintober Castle in northwest Ireland coupled with systematic foot survey and geophysical techniques such as ground-penetrating radar. The anthropology will trace a community’s relationship with castles through time.
Additional time will be spent participating in experimental archaeological research and learning medieval life-ways from experts at living history museums.
The project is entitled, “Castles in Communities in Ireland 2017: Archaeology Stories of the Middle Ages from Beyond the Pale,” in medieval Ireland and the kingdom of Connacht where the last high kings defended their country against invading English nobles.
Whether you’re interested in travel, research, archaeology and anthropology, castles and communities - this presentation will enchant and inform and be of interest to a wide audience.
Dr. Connell’s talk will include photographs of previous field projects where his students have conducted research in Ecuador, Belize and Ireland and here in California.
He is a longtime visitor to Lake County and passionate about discovering and experiencing places you won’t believe exist.

Operation Tango Mike marks 14 years, 19,000 care packages
LAKEPORT, Calif. – When something that survives purely out of the goodness of people’s hearts has lasted 14 years, it should be celebrated.
On Thursday, March 16, Operation Tango Mike marked 14 years of troop support.
On the third Thursday of every month, volunteers gather at 6 p.m. at Umpqua Bank, 805 11th St. in Lakeport to prepare care packages for deployed troops.
Items for the care packages and shipping costs are covered through donations and fundraising.
The effort, founded by Kelseyville resident Ginny Craven, began with a small donation receptacle at a local office in March 2003 and has grown immensely.
Currently, 104 monthly care packages are shipped to troops in nine countries and aboard ships. Monthly shipping fees alone average nearly $1,800.
Military families are supported as well. Many volunteers who support Operation Tango Mike have volunteered their assistance with home repairs, transportation and more. It is often difficult to maintain a household, hold down a job and raise a family when a loved one is deployed. A helping hand is a small act of kindness with a big impact.
With no base or military installation in our area, folks who wish to support troops and their families gather via Operation Tango Mike.
Families are welcomed and are provided with emotional support, knowing that they and their loved ones are appreciated. Families make great sacrifices when troops deploy, often for a year at a time; families serve too.
All are welcomed and appreciated at Operation Tango Mike packing parties, which are family friendly. The effort does not involve politics and is solely motivated to support our troops and their families.
Everyone is welcome to attend packing parties. If your schedule does not allow participation, there are still ways to contribute. Correspondence is needed for every care package. All that is needed is a bit of time to jot down a greeting or note of support for a soldier far from home.
Drawings and colored pictures from children are also favorites. The troops receiving care packages are truly grateful.
Most say it doesn’t really matter to them what they receive. They are simply thankful to receive something from home and their spirits are lifted in knowing they are not forgotten.
Their appreciation is evidenced by the hundreds of thank you messages that have been sent to Operation Tango Mike. Many of the notes are hung on the wall where they can be read at packing parties. Others, such as flags flown in honor of Operation Tango Mike, are proudly displayed on shelves at Umpqua Bank.
For further information or to add your loved one to the care package recipient list, please call Craven at 707-349-2838 or e-mail

Space News: NASA’s Juno spacecraft set for fifth Jupiter flyby
NASA's Juno spacecraft will make its fifth flyby over Jupiter's mysterious cloud tops on Monday, March 27, at 1:52 a.m. Pacific Time.
At the time of closest approach (called perijove), Juno will be about 2,700 miles above the planet's cloud tops, traveling at a speed of about 129,000 miles per hour relative to the gas-giant planet.
All of Juno's eight science instruments will be on and collecting data during the flyby.
"This will be our fourth science pass – the fifth close flyby of Jupiter of the mission – and we are excited to see what new discoveries Juno will reveal,” said Scott Bolton, principal investigator of Juno from the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. "Every time we get near Jupiter’s cloud tops, we learn new insights that help us understand this amazing giant planet."
The Juno science team continues to analyze returns from previous flybys. Scientists have discovered that Jupiter's magnetic fields are more complicated than originally thought, and that the belts and zones that give the planet's cloud tops their distinctive look extend deep into the its interior.
Observations of the energetic particles that create the incandescent auroras suggest a complicated current system involving charged material lofted from volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io.
Peer-reviewed papers with more in-depth science results from Juno's first flybys are expected to be published within the next few months.
Juno launched on Aug. 5, 2011, from Cape Canaveral, Fla., and arrived in orbit around Jupiter on July 4, 2016.
During its mission of exploration, Juno soars low over the planet's cloud tops – as close as about 2,600 miles.
During these flybys, Juno is probing beneath the obscuring cloud cover of Jupiter and studying its auroras to learn more about the planet's origins, structure, atmosphere and magnetosphere.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, manages the Juno mission for the principal investigator, Scott Bolton, of Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. The Juno mission is part of the New Frontiers Program managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, for the Science Mission Directorate. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, built the spacecraft. JPL is a division of Caltech in Pasadena, California.
More information on the Juno mission is available at http://www.nasa.gov/juno or http://missionjuno.org , and follow the mission on social media, http://www.facebook.com/NASAJuno and http://www.twitter.com/NASAJuno .
Turkey hunting with lead or nonlead shot?
Question: Do I have to use nonlead shot when turkey hunting with a shotgun this spring? (Joe N., Sacramento)
Answer: Yes. Nonlead ammunition is now required statewide when hunting wild turkeys with a shotgun.
This applies to both public and private lands (except for licensed game bird clubs), including all national forests, Bureau of Land Management properties and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) lands. Private landowners or anyone authorized to hunt on private land must also comply with these regulations.
Moving crab pots that have become navigational hazards?
Question: Can I pick up and remove a crab pot that is a navigational hazard and/or has significant line floating on the surface? (Daniel)
Answer: No, it is unlawful to “disturb, move or damage any trap that belongs to another person that is marked with a buoy identification number or unless the person has written permission in possession from the owner of the trap” (California Code of Regulations Title 14, section 29.80(a)(3) and Fish and Game Code, section 9002).
Instead, you are encouraged to report any crab pot creating a hazard to CDFW or the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard has the authority to remove traps that are in violation of rule 9, which prohibits fishing that impedes the passage of a vessel that can only operate safely in a narrow channel or fairway. These are specifically designated by the sector of the coast guard that operates in that area.
Shooting too close to neighbors’ houses with permission?
Question: My neighbors and I each live on five-acre lots in Calaveras County that back up to open land with no buildings or dwellings.
We all like to hunt and have dove and quail on the back sides of our properties that run in conjunction with each other. I noticed that our houses are between 100-140 yards from the area where we like to shoot which is facing away from our homes.
We all allow each other to shoot with no problems, but based on of the language of Fish and Game Code, section 3004 it says we should be at least 150 yards away from our homes. Since we are all in agreement regarding shooting from this area, does this regulation make it illegal? (Brendon G.)
Answer: This regulation reads, “It is unlawful for a person, other than the owner, person in possession of the premises, or a person having the express permission of the owner or person in possession of the premises, while within 150 yards of an occupied dwelling house, residence or other building, or within 150 yards of a barn or other outbuilding used in connection with an occupied dwelling house, residence or other building, to either hunt or discharge a firearm or other deadly weapon while hunting” (FGC, section 3004). It appears you would not violate these provisions but you should also contact your local Sheriff’s Department to see if there are any local laws that may apply to your location.
Ocean finfish landing net size requirement?
Question: I understand that the following regulation applies to ocean-going kayaks. It says, “No person shall take finfish from any boat or other floating device in ocean waters without having a landing net in possession or available for immediate use to assist in landing undersize fish of species having minimum size limits; the opening of any such landing net shall be not less than eighteen inches in diameter” (CCR Title 14, section 28.65(d)).
My question has to do with how the diameter is measured on a net that isn’t round. Many nets that are aimed at small craft use are not round and meet the opening size in one direction, for example, 18 inches x 14 inches.
Is that legally sufficient or must the minimum diameter at any point be no less than 18 inches? That would push the net size up considerably, and given the limited utility of a net (or a gaff for that matter) from a near-water craft like a kayak or float tube, I’d prefer to carry as little as possible. (Ariel C.)
Answer: The net need not feature a circular opening despite its reference to “diameter,” but the net must be a minimum of 18 inches at its narrowest part. Good luck and tight lines!

Charles ‘Chuck’ Doty
LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Charles “Chuck” Nisbet Doty, 78, passed away Sunday, March 19, 2017, at home in Lower Lake, Calif. He was a loving partner, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend to many.
Chuck was born in Chicago, Ill., on Nov. 7, 1938, to Janet (Nisbet) Doty and Charles Harold Doty.
When Chuck was 7 years old, the family moved to San Leandro, Calif. After graduating from San Leandro High, Chuck attended college in Oregon until joining the U.S. Marine Corps in 1957.
In 1958 after Chuck’s Dad passed his Mom married Alfred Jobes. Alfred, “Pops” played an important role in Chuck’s life for the next 25 years.
For 20 years Chuck had a successful career as general manager of Barons Jewelers. In 1988, Chuck and Judy moved to Lake County and started Clear Lake Employment Agency. Later, Chuck worked as an Economic Development Consultant with BORT (Business Outreach & Response Team) where he was responsible for attracting new businesses to the county.
He concluded his working career in 2009 as president of Langtry Farms, where he oversaw their golf course development, among other responsibilities. After retiring, he continued doing consulting work.
Chuck was well known for his volunteer activities and community involvement. He enjoyed helping others, and expressed this in the many volunteer positions he held. He was a hard worker and very dedicated to his community!
He was a director on the Lake County Fire Protection District Board, and before merging, the Lower Lake Volunteer Fire District Board (the latter, where he served as both a volunteer and the fire chief). Chuck was also on the Lake County Fair Foundation Board where he was serving as vice-president. Chuck liked to help keep Lake County beautiful and spent countless hours picking up litter on Point Lakeview Road.
Chuck and Judy enjoyed their life at the home her father built overlooking the lake, spending early mornings enjoying the view and wildlife, coffee, and conversation. One of Chuck's hobbies was poetry and competing in Haiku contests. He and Judy also enjoyed many camping excursions throughout the west.
Chuck was especially proud of his children and grandchildren and never missed an opportunity to tell them so. Whether in a handwritten note or by making the six-hour same day, round trip drive to attend sporting events and birthdays, every one of his four children and 10 grandchildren knew their Dad and Pa thought the world of them.
Everyone who knew Chuck understood he was a man you could count on and no one felt that more than his family. The first question from him was always, “What can I do to help?”
Chuck leaves his partner of 30 years, Judy Mullens; his son, Kirk Doty and wife Mechele of Manteca, grandchildren Britney and Zack and great grandson Zachariah; his son, Glen Doty and wife Barbara of Sacramento, grandchildren Jake, Emily and Eric; his daughter, Deborah Mello and husband Eddie of Pleasanton, grandchildren Samantha and Jackson; and daughter, Jennifer Kell and her husband Corey, grandchildren Caitlynn, Kennedy and Chad. Chuck was also family to Judy's family: Linda Mullens and partner Dave, grandchildren Zachary and Joshua, Bonnie Hudson and husband Don, grandchildren Rachel and Daniel, Mike Mullens and wife Karen and her son Jason and grandchild Nicole.
A celebration of life is planned for April 1 at 11 a.m. at The Brick Hall, 16374 Main St. in Lower Lake. If desired, donations can be made to the Lake County Fire Protection District 14815 Olympic Drive, Clearlake, CA 95422 .

Gathering firewood is important to many individuals and families surrounding the Mendocino National Forest.
Following are some tips to remember:
· Plan your trip. Check the weather, bring water, emergency food, and the appropriate gear for the season when you are gathering firewood. Make sure you have a full tank of gas when you leave. Also, let someone know where you are going and when you plan to be back.
· Keep vehicles on designated roads and be aware of unexpected weather that may change road conditions quickly. Wet dirt roads can turn to mud, making it possible to get stuck and causing damage to road, soil and water resources.
· As fire season approaches, be aware of fire restrictions or closure orders that may be in effect. Make sure you have a spark arrester on chainsaws and any other mechanical equipment being used.
· Ensure you are cutting firewood on the Mendocino National Forest and not from other federal, state or private lands.
· Cell phones are unreliable in many parts of the forest.
· Some areas may not be accessible for cutting due to winter storm damage.
· Please check with local offices for current information before traveling to the forest.
